Trent Alexander-Arnold sparks Liverpool injury fears days before Carabao Cup final

Alexander-Arnold was crushed after he injured his right ankleAFP via Getty The right-back was subsequently unable to continue and limped off the fieldGetty Alexander-Arnold cut a devastated figure on the turf and pulled his shirt over his head while being treated by Liverpools’s medical staff. The right-back eventually got back to his feet but could only limp as he took over four minutes to exit the field and head down the tunnel at Anfield. He was replaced by Jarell Quansah. The timing of Alexander-Arnold’s injury comes with Liverpool due to play Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, live on talkSPORT. The 26-year-old’s scare also took place days out from England boss Thomas Tuchel naming his first Three Lions squad on Friday. Alexander-Arnold’s exit from the field came with Liverpool’s Champions League tie against PSG hanging in the balance after the visitors equalised on aggregate via Ousmane Dembele.
